Sal D @JustTheLaw Feb 16 I came into this movie with very low expectations. While the scripts’s novelty was likitrr, I thought it was adequate as were the performances and direction. Sydney Sweeney does stand out. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 25 Nocturne is a surprisingly effective psychological thriller that offers a unique twist on artistic ambition and competition. By using music as the backbone of its tension, the film creates an unsettling atmosphere where creativity slowly turns into obsession. The story explores how the pursuit of excellence can become destructive, presenting competition as something that corrodes identity rather than inspires it. That approach gives the film a darker edge and helps it stand apart from more conventional thrillers. Sydney Sweeney delivers a strong and layered performance, fully committing to the emotional and psychological descent of her character. She brings depth and intensity that anchors the film and keeps it grounded The screenplay is well constructed, despite a few minor flaws. Once the narrative hooks you, it maintains momentum and steadily builds tension without relying on cheap scares Direction is confident and controlled, balancing tone and pacing to keep the story cohesive See more Alain E @AlainE Nov 12 It never really ignites. Sweeney is doing the best she can with a weak script. Like in other movies she avoids using her physical assets. For example here is her sister who plays the piano showing cleavage. Although the ending is ambiguous, I believe the valid version is that she plays the concert well. If she had fallen on the metal sign someone of the people moving around would have noticed.

Well characters are very well acted, especially Sweeney in the lead and it builds tension quite well. If you like non threatening psychological drama-thrillers with very limited horror, Black Swan for example, you will probably enjoy this.

It doesn't break new ground and it has a downbeat ending, but this is a solid, well-acted film: Sweeney is quite good in it, and it's a well-told story about the price of ambition at all costs. Maybe you already knew that, but it's good to remind ourselves every once in awhile. Or maybe not? Maybe you think being cutthroat is what it takes to be successful in life. Then, I guess, this is not your kind of movie, because it is basically a kind of moral fable. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good: it's a well acted, well told story. See more Korra N @RT88131552 08/15/2024 Some great performances & fun direction don't save what's a mediocre script with an even worse ending. Still, if you're a fan of psychological thrillers, give this a watch. See more Read all reviews
